Chapter 65
The next night, Hanson and (previously) Northern Lights was really
tired, but didn't want to go to sleep. They sat down and watched
television. They were watching 'Jerry Springer' and someone on the
show (in case you're wondering, the show's titled, "You stole my lover
and I want him back!") got mad so she ran across the stage to beat the
other girl up. "Yeah! Chic fight!" Zac yelled. When Kristin changed
the channel. "Hey!" the guys exclaimed. "You don't need to watch a
chic fight, besides, 'South Park's' on," Kristin replied. "We all know
that Kenny's gonna die, now turn it back to 'Springer'!" Zac snapped
in a really weird voice. Then Walker came in from the kitchen and
turned the tv off. "I don't want you watching 'Springer'. Your mother
isn't feeling well, so could one of you feed Zoe while I go tuck
Mackie in?" Walker said as he heanded the baby and a bottle to Taylor.
A couple days later, Hanson had to go to New York to work on tour
stuff. So Walker took the boys to NYC and the girls stayed home to
help Diana with the littler kids. They parked the van in the airport
parking lot, and headed into the airport to see the plane off. Jason
led, with Taylor and Beth behind, then Zac, Ike, Kristin, Kate, the
little kids, Diana, and Walker. When they finally got through most of
the flashing lights and screaming girls at the Tulsa airport, it was
just about time for them to board the plane. They each gave Diana and
the younger four a hug goodbye, grabbed their carry ons and left.
Before they went down the path to the plane, Taylor gave Beth a hug,
"See ya in two weeks." Taylor said. "I'll see you...um...at 4pm," Beth
replied. "What are you talking about? Oh duh! We're on Oprah this
afternoon." Then Beth whispered in his ear, "Don't hug me in public."
"Why not?" "Because you'll lose fans." "Didn't I already tell you, I
don't care if we lose fans. Anyways, if they were real fans, they
would like us no matter who has a girlfriend." Then after a few glares
at Beth, they left.
A couple days later the Hanson house got a phone call. Beth picked up
the phone and answered in a deep voice, "Hello, Pizza Hut delivery,
how may I help you?" (A.N. Beth really did this, only to some business
guy for her dad.) "Um...I think I have the wrong number." "NO! WAIT!
Who is this?" Beth said in her normal voice. "Oh, this is Christopher
Sabec. When is Walker going to be home? I have someone who needs to
meet with them about working on a new album." "Oh, do you want to talk
to Diana?" Beth asked as she handed the phone to Diana and ran into
the living room laughing hysterically.
The next day, the girls remembered that Hanson was going to be on
Rosie O'Donnel promoting the tour, so the girls decided to play a
little prank on Taylor. They knew he always wore his pager on
vibrator, and that he had just put a new battery in the beeper, so the
vibration would be really strong. The girls paged him, it turns out
that they paged him right when they were on camera. Taylor was
answering a question about Zoe when all of a sudden his voice started
vibrating and he started shaking a little bit. Rosie started laughing
and said, "Taylor, honey, why are you shaking?" Taylor took off his
beeper, looked at the number, then looked straight into the camera,
"Beth, Kate, Kristin. I know it was one of you, so cancel the page and
don't page me again." The girls started laughing hysterically. "So
who's the girls that paged you?" Rosie asked. "They're Northern
Lights," Isaac answered. "Oh, I had them on. They're so cute. Ok,
Kristin's the drummer, Kate's the guitartist, and Beth's plays the
keyboards, right?" "Beth's something else to," Zac said. "Oh really,
what?" Rosie asked curiously as Taylor shot Zac a glare, so Zac just
sang quietly, "Taylor's got a girlfriend, Taylor's got a girlfriend."
over and over until Taylor hit him in the back of the head and hissed,
"Shut up!" "Hey! It's true," Zac shot back, rubbing the back of his
head. "What's true? Who has a girlfriend?" Rosie asked. "Taylor!" Zac
said through a fake cough. "Well where are they? Shouldn't you call
them back?" Rosie suggested. "No, see, the public wasn't supost to
know about this until after a while," Taylor said. "Oh, we can call
them, they won't mind," Zac said as Rosie pulled out a phone from
under her desk. "Zac, too bad you don't know the phone number," Taylor
said, despraitly trying to get out of calling them. "Like I don't know
the number to my own house!" Zac exclaimed as he hit the speaker phone
button and was about to start dialing when he stopped, thought for a
second then asked, "Ike, what's our area code? Oh duh! It's 918." Then
continued dialing. Back at the house, the phone rang. Diana answered
it, "Hello." "Hey, Mom this is Zac." "Aren't you supost to be on
Rosie?" "We are. We called because we need to talk to the girls." "Oh,
ok." Diana said as she handed the phone to the nearest person, who was
Kristin. Kristin pressed speaker phone so everyone could hear. "Hi,"
Kristin said. "Hi Kristin. So what you doing?" "We're watching you
embarress Taylor," Kate chimed in. "You guys are pathetic," Beth
added. "Hey, it was you who dialed the number," Kristin shot back.
"Ok, girls, who paged him and why?" Rosie asked. "Oh, we were eating
the candy hearts Taylor gave us for Valentine's Day, and one said
'Page Me', so we paged him." "Hmmm. I hear you girls are quite the
pranksters." "Well, actually, the would be Beth," Kate said. "Oh, sure
balme it all on me!" "Well you are the one who suggested the hair
thing and the necklace cutting and-" Kristin continued. "Ok, but I
grew out of that stage." "Actually, that was kinda funny. All of a
sudden we heard this scream from the bathroom. You should've seen
Zac's face when he saw his teeth were green," Isaac said. "So Beth,
I here you and Tay have a little thing going on," Rosie said. "Uh...
uh....uh..no...mab...ye...mab...how'd you find out?" Beth asked
suprised. Taylor chimed in, "Sorry Beth. Not only is Zac a peeping
Tom, he's also a blaber mouth!" "Hey! How many times must I tell you?
I'm not a peeping Tom, I'm a peeping Zac!" After that, they had to go
to a different guest, so that was over.
